Dog's tail and ear cropping
In Roman times, tail docking was used because it was believed that preventing rabies and other diseases. In the Eureopean times of Georgia,
tail docking was done to alleviate the financial stress. A tax was placed on working dogs had tails to that the owner of the dog's tail dock
to avoid having to pay another tax. Therefore coupling is the tail and ears cut something necessary?
I suppose that "necessary" is in the mind of the dog owner and the purpose for which the dog is used. For a dog whose main lifestyle is to stay at home and
be a family pet loyal, docking, probably not necessary. If, however, the dog is used for hunting, hairpieces, or grazing, tail docking may be beneficial. Oh, yes,
There is also the controversial "show dog" appearance. Although there seems no strict regulation on whether or not a dog has been trimmed and / or an attachment to be in
the sample, severe penalties are placed on those who are not. queue is growing for prevention, for therapeutic purposes, or cosmetics. Today, most
tail docking seems to be mostly cosmetic. Groups of dogs that are usually docked and cropped, only makes because it has been a traditional
practice that our rare animal would not have to do.
Preventive measures are true breeds for hunting, rat, or herd. The tail of a hound, the rapid swing in the bushes;
bushes, is more prone to flash and hit the tail on the branches and trunks of trees. For this breed, tail docking may prevent tail injuries, which are certainly very
difficult to treat and manage. Terriers were bred for fox hunting and other predators, so the tracking of small holes with a bushy tail can also create
injury potential. Breeding dogs, are at risk of contracting the queue at the gates when they have arrested his herd into the corral, so this race can
also benefit from the queue is coupled. So if you own a dog that meets these requirements, then docking is probably the best option for the dog.
Many countries, pressure from animal activists, have banned the practice of tail docking and ear cropping. Some of them have set fines, imprisonment
and prohibited the dog to be in any show ring. Veterans who continue the practice of attaching / culture, they risk fines, jail and having his
revocked license. Ironically, since Sweden banned this practice in 1989, has been a dramatic increase in injuries from the queue. Pointer breed
has been increased to 51%.
Although tail docking, if done correctly between 10-14 days of life of the puppies, is said to be free of pain, which remains a contentious issue. However, I can not
Imagine being more painful than spaying or neutering. The fact is that when done so early, many breeders they do the procedure themselves, say
a puppy to sleep even later. Regarding the argument about the "phantom pain", personally I find it hard to imagine that someone has increased
within the dog's head to know how you remember something that did not even know I had. I doubt that in 10-14 days that even knew what a queue. However, the
the controversy continues and will continue for all irritional thoughts. But, today many countries ban the practice altogether, power
see the power that activists hoped Animal Rights. I am not against animal rights or the ethical treatment of animals, but I am against any group of
he feels he has much power they can force others to follow is belief.
So then not cut the ears. But for this, is said to be a painful procedure done under anesthetic. Veterinary Infection risk is high and many
are not well versed in the appropriate form of crops and the puppy has to come back later to undergo the procedure again. Growing is more for cosmetic purpose
than anything else. Most dog is largely to punish the untrimmed ears. Of course, most owners would be hard to imagine Doberman that his watchdog,
"Psycho" was trying to scare an unwelcome visitor that appears "Goofy" and his ears flopping in the wind. The ear cropping was started because he made the
Watchdog seem daunting. Long, ears do not do much to scare off potential thieves. There is considerable controversy on this matter too. Some say, to cut the ears
interferes with natural communication skills of the dog. Dogs communicate with their tails and ears, and give them this.
Coupling and culture in the U.S. remains the right of the owner. That is, until the activists begin to make war here too. To me, I will think of
why is the dog choose on the basis of this criterion. If I do not plan to hunt, rat or sheep, with my dog, which probably not need these things. When
Great Dane that I would like to have, it might seem a little strange to many people because not fit the standard find that they expect. Than
be well, yet he will not have to impress anyone, but him and me.
